First of all, thanks to Tylene for her amazing veteran male Malachite. It took several dates before he took a liking to this little gal, but hopefully it was all worth it!
Never underestimate the power of the sun! For those that have followed in the past, you know... this has been a long process. Finally, after a cold and irregularly wet southern California winter, I had a female lined up in perfect health and great weather. Previous attempts with a different female yielded only a few head bobs and a half-hearted approach by the male. So both male and different female were given plenty of sun. Cue the music...love was in the air.
There must be some hormonal response that the sun exposure brought because the male immediately took to displaying for the female. Admitedly, observers were only a distraction so we left the two alone. Upon a check 15 minutes later...we saw this:
They were left together for repeated attempts and now we play the waiting game. The female went on a hunger strike for about 4 days and is now eating heartily again. Stay tuned for more.
Another female of mine laid an inferile clutch but has rebounded well. thread here
First Giant Fischer that promptly died after I brought him home as well as some additional info on treatment of a URI with a female. thread here
